Do parents really accept their children? Do they say that children are capable of doing more than they think? I have always been questioning this. Parents or Guardians seem to say this but they act as if their children aren't capable of much and when they do something irresponsible, it just proves their point. They silent judge and it aggravates me. The thing that get's to me most is they treat teen like the horrors of society. We are going to be the future. If we keep being treated like this we will never get anywhere. We deserve some respect and honestly, it doesn't seem like people want to give us the respect. I try to earn it everyday towards my Grandparents. I help out, I do what i'm told and for the most part follow orders. But if I get a slight screwed up and do something they don't like, I get scolded. If they do something I don't like, I tell them and ask if they can not do that because it upsets me. It's respect. I give them all of my respect and they go fill me with hatred. Teens already have enough trouble and would like to have privacy. I am always yelled at for not leaving my bedroom door open. I have my reasons such as, I don't like dealing with others, I want to have quiet or have my music blasting because if my door is open and I have music playing; it has to be turned off because they don't like it. I never know when to win. This ad really spoke to me because I can understand kids under 18 don't get enough credit. And it deserves more credit due to it being a milk ad. If you want me to be an adult, train me. Ease into it, not act as if I am incapable 10 year old. And in the first place I am more mature for my age due to circumstances. But parents need to get a grip and not treat teens/children like they are incapable. Have hope and push their kids to love, self expression and grow to be an amazing adult.
